Hi, is it getting enough sunlight? Poor thing plants can be so difficult.

I keep mine in an eastern facing window about one foot away and he seems to do well.

It looks pretty healthy to me but droopy. How is the watering going? They can be a bit temperamental with the right watering schedule.

I finally just transferred it into this self watering system, hopefully that helps? I have my aerogarden near it but I might change the location like you suggested! I was concerned it might be too much sunlight but I’m new to this whole thing. Thanks so much for responding!

My pleasure! I hope that helps. I don’t know how they do in self watering pots but they seem to prefer chunkier soil in my experience, instead of regular potting soil.

What is the soil you use called??

Espoma cactus mix is great. I don’t recommend miracle grow but there are some other great succulents or cactus mixes that work really well!
